Batch 1
From notes. Tasted on 10/21/12 from a waxed and capped bomber bottle. Pours dark brown with an average tan head that leaves an average collar of lace. The nose is quite smokey with dark malt and a touch of vanilla underlying. The flavor is a bit more vanilla, but is mostly aggressive smoke and the same dark bread malt from the nose. The body is medium with average carbonation and a long, smokey and vanilla finish.

22 oz. bottle. From notes. Pours a dark brown, near black, with a tan head. Aroma of smoke, some chocolate, some mild sweetness. Flavor is mostly smoke, with a corresponding backing of sweet malt. Full bodied. This is. Very. Smokey. Interesting, but more smoke than I, a lover a smoked beers, have ever experienced. Fair enough.

22oz bottle shared by Noodleuser: pours a mostly opaque dark mahogany with a spotty-lacing off-white head. Has a big smoky and sweet dark malty nose with some complex whiskey notes. Starts with good fullness and sweet toasty dark caramel malts with a touch of espresso and oaky smoke before aslightly drier bittersweet finish. True to style, complex and enjoyable.
